how can i connect strips to one another to get 50 ft long ?

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.

These led's have a plug on both ends of the light so you just need to buy enough rolls to make 50 feet ... note not sure how may rolls of led's the signal box can support

This is true, they connect end to end. however the signal and strength of the lighting itself deteriorates after 3 - 4 strips. I suggest separate the strips with a repeater which is supposed to boost the signal. I am not an expert by any means. just trial and error here.

I am not an expert but it is my understanding not to attach two 16.5 foot strings together (end to end). They may over heat and not work properly. Each string needs its own controller and/or power supply. Hope this helps.

I believe the will plug in end to end, you may need a larger amperage transformer for the added legnth

I use about 100 yards of led strip tape a month and have given up trying to use these connectors. I have taken to soldering the strips together. This is not practical for home use I would guess though.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to cut the lights, separate them and then join them back with wire, making the total length longer. If this is what you want to do then the answer is yes. Make sure you cut where the white line is on the led strips and then strip plastic to expose the wire and solder your additional wire to the led wire. The lights will need a 12 volt power supply and I also added a dimmer to control how much light. They are very bright.

You can simply enough solder the connection together if you're confident with soldering. Else buy the LED strips with the four pin connectors on each end and connect the two strips together.

Return the product and find strips in 3 foot sections and a "Y" or multi connector to the lights

The light strips can be connected end-to-end via a small coupler or with various spacing between using 4 inch , 3 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot interconnection cables which are sold separately.

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

You will need to purchase the recommended transformer that will plug into the electrical receptacle and connect to the light strip. The transformer has additional extension length.

the LMR cables are 50ft. the connectors are larger diameter so if you are fishing it through a hole you need to drill a hole twice as big. If i were to do it again i would crimp it by hand

I have two strips connected together currently and they are working fine. I dont run them for very long periods though. Maybe and hour at most and have not had any issues. According to all info out there you are supposed to run a "repeater" to connect more than one strip. Also, you will need a "strip to strip" connector to join strips together. You can find alot of different types on this site.

Mine are only 50 feet apart. I suggest that if u can work off the same circuit, they should work fine. Call them.

According to the manual, for 50 feet you need a 16 gauge extension cord. Just in case for 100 feet you need a 14 gauge cord.

I just used 2 standard ethernet cords (each about 75 ft) and used the coupler to join them together. Works just fine.

most importantly your answer depends on the current draw from each strips and if you have them in series with each other or parallel. there is a mathematical equation to figure this out and is simple. I found this, I hope it helps............http://www.ehow.com/how_5630109_calculate-amperage.html

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source. That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

Everything you need to connect the strips together is included in the "super deluxe" package. The only exception would be if you needed some connections across some unusually long distances, in which case you would need to specially order an extra long connector.

About 18 inches long. If you need to spread them out a bit, a simple extention cable will work.
